Hi William,Well, I had a go at the Changaword. If I didn't go with goon, then the next options for gown are down, mown, town or sown. The first 3 didn't go anywhere, and sown does look the most promising. Next: sewn, sawn, soon or sows. But I could not get from slip to any of those in 3 steps. Goon was it. So are we left with (and I asume this is your answer, too) slip, slop, glop, goop, goon, gown? One of my dictionaries does give glop, goop and one definition of goon as "informal" rather than slang. But the others have them slang all the way. So, I guess I can't solve it any other way. I don't like it too much either. Maybe we're missing something. Check the answer page.Frances.
